Low-intensity Cognitive-behavioural Therapy for Insomnia

CBTI involves habitual, belief and attitude alterations so as to eliminate factors preventing sleep (Morin, Savard, Ouellet, \& Daley, 2003). It is recommended by the American College of Physicians as the first-line therapy for insomnia (Qaseem, Kansagara, Forciea, Cooke, \& Denberg, 2016). CBTI workshops are a relatively novel and emerging way of delivery which involves a greater number of patients than group CBTI, increases availability and accessibility by concentrating the content into half or whole day and taking place in the community settings, and reduces diagnostic labeling and cost (Bonin, Beecham, Swift, Raikundalia, \& Brown, 2014; Swift, Stewart, Andiappan, Smith, Espie, \& Brown, 2012). Self-help CBTI involves independent learning of the provided materials via the Internet, video or audio recording, books and pamphlets (Bruin, Bogels, Oort, \& Meijer, 2015).

SHE, is commonly provided verbally or through leaflets during consultations (Espie, 2009), and is also included as a part of CBTI (Morin, Savard, Ouellet, \& Daley, 2003).
